Beyoncé's sixth album loomed once "Formation" and its video were issued ahead of the superstar's Super Bowl 50 half-time performance. Two months and a couple weeks later, it appeared as a culturally seismic visual album…

The surprise of releasing an album with no warning is perhaps a slightly overdone trick now, but the news that Beyoncé released her sixth solo album, called Lemonade, on Saturday night still managed to be the kind of event that confirms her status as arguably the world’s leading female pop star.

Life gave Beyoncé lemons, and she made Lemonade.Bey released her sixth album Lemonade in an earthquake of a surprise release Saturday night. And after collecting our emotions, we listened (and listened again, and again), for some instant reactions to her most grown-up record yet.

Lemonade is a 2006 CD by artist G. Love. The album features special guests Chuck Treece, Donavon Frankenreiter, Dave Hidalgo, Gift Of Gab, Lateef The Truth Speaker, RV Salters, General Elektriks, Jasper, Ben Harper, Marc Broussard, Jack Johnson, and many more. This was released by Brushfire.
